In this series of photos, a young woman gracefully stands in a mirror room. However, her images on the mirrors diverge from her true self: the images are either changed, disappear or only partially reflected. The mirror room serves as a metaphor for our world, and the mirror symbolizes our media, occasionally distorting reality and concealing authenticity. Those photos spark our concern and reflection on the truth manipulation in our media-driven world, prompting viewers to question the media authenticity that shape our understanding of our world.
